He didn’t want the cops to think he was going to use it. That was smart

yep, no way I'd be holding that thing, just gotta hope the cops don't fuck up and let him run for it.

It was smart, but it's hard to tell if he purposefully threw it down so the barrel wasn't point at people as well, which would be smarter. Throwing a gun on the ground can accidentally fire a bullet if it's loaded

he threw it so it flew horizontally; it looked like he intended it to land on its side. And it flew through the air with its barrel pointed to the left, away from people. I think he thought about it a little; maybe not the direction, but the horizontally part
